I have owned several smart locks and every single one has required a secret passcode to actually unlock via a smart assistant. Working backwards, the real threat if they didn't do that is just someone shouting through the window.

I forget if it was this article or not but someone mentioned that a few of the smart locks that do have secret codes don't rate limit them, so, in theory, they could brute force a pin code or password.

I guess the idea is that they think nobody is going to sit there and shout pin codes until it unlocks?
